corrected a typo around the 'line of business' line; as well as the sentence on /open, /developer, and /data pages; tightened a sentence about the /data page and data.gov; for the 'how do i get started' question, I clarified data.json instead of /data; and for the last question, I did the same.

A wide variety of tools are available to manage a data catalog, whether public-facing or for internal data managements. The records of metadata in the file can be managed by databases, spreadsheets, or even text editors. Data management systems should be able to export the metadata either in the desired format or in one which may be simply mapped with [tools](http://labs.data.gov).
